Abu Mansur Qatran Adudi (1009-1072), Persian: قطران تبريزى, was a royal Iranian poet. Originating from Shadi-abad near Tabriz (Azerbaijan), he was the most famous panegyrist of his time in Iran. In his Persian divan of 3000 to 10000 couplets he praises some 30 patrons. His qasidehs on the earthquake of Tabriz in 1042CE has been much praised. He is not to be confused with another Persian author: Qatran of Tirmidh, who wrote the Qaus-nama one hundred years later.
